My Students

I am the school Guidance Counselor and Basketball Coach at a Title I elementary school in Brooklyn, NY. Our neighborhood school has a multitude of diverse students from many different cultures and backgrounds.

Allowing children to participate in youth sports is a strong way for children to explore and develop lifelong skills.

Youth sports not only play an important role in exercise but also promotes mental and psychological advances as well. As our school's Basketball Coach, I recognize that organized sports can be a powerful tool to reach many of my young boys and girls who are struggling to find their balance and purpose.

With the equipment and materials for our new afterschool clubs and sports teams, I can help them achieve personal responsibility so they can succeed academically and socially.

With funding so limited in our school, money for games and kits are non-existent. I'm reaching out for help so we can develop minds of our future leaders.

My Project

Student need materials such as an interactive globe for social studies so that they can learn the seven continents, 4 bodies of ocean, 5 lakes, 50 states and capitals, and different countries in the eastern and western hemisphere. Along with an atlas book to explore the world and learn accurate information that gives supporting details. Telephones to set up a discovery center like NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) so they can learn communication skills and draw inferences and give them examples of real-life scenarios. We have several students who want to become future astronauts, pilots, communications data specialist or mechanical engineers.
